Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Crushed pineapple, drained
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Add the drained crushed pineapple to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

If desired, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture.

Step 8

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
